Palmy

A  L  O  H  A !
Palms Punching Above Royal Poincianas 

" It is the nature 
of the strong heart, 
that like the palm tree 
it strives ever upwards 
when it is most burdened. "
                                  Philip Sidney












Hand Of The Gardener

" Life is the art 
of drawing 
without an eraser. "  
                      John W. Gardner
















Palms are dancers who sigh,
wave their fingers, and beguile!

" The actor should be 
able to create the 
universe in the 
palm of his hand. "
      Laurence Olivier



Thank YOU
for looking in,
dear Friend!

    Erasers are only good if you have regrets you know.
    Loved my time among the palms while I was in Florida.

    Aloha from a rather rainy day

    Palms are so tropical, where plants and trees grow so lush and colorful. There's for places where nature has given a bounty of colorfulness. No erasers available for real life; regrets are a waste of time.

    So would you say it's palmy where it's balmy? I loved the shot with the hand of the gardener.

    Hi Cloudia,
    I love the quotes and the photos - the first photo in particular, your banner and the use of vignette.
    Have a Happy Week!
    Peace :)
